Ana Uhibbuka Fillah (Series Loves You In Silence 2 )
22. Afrah (I Love Him Because of God )
Shaykh Muhammad bin Uthaimin rahimullah said :
"Look at women who are proposed only for needs only. If he has seen once and that is enough for him, whether he likes it or dislikes it, let him take action. When it was not necessary he repeated the view, because he already knew, whether to continue or cancel. As for if he repeated the view without need, then it was not permissible for him, since he was a stranger to him."

I was so nervous at this moment while waiting for something that made me wonder. Tonight, an unexpected night a woman like me will feel nervous as well as stubborn as a prospective wife who will be betrothed by a man.
I really like Mr. Fikri. I have been crying in silence all this time. The news that he was going to propose to me made me grateful and happy for the blessings of God through the prayers I said to Him.
But, the sudden arrival of Mr. Fikri gave me a big question mark. Seeing from the situation and conditions, he was not close to Fara.
Are the two in trouble to end their relationship? I just took a long breath. Everything I put my trust in God. I don't want to think strangely of them so that I don't seudzon increase sin. Nauzubillah min dzalik.
Door opens. I looked back. I stood up nervously. Both my legs feel sluggish. It's the first time a man who's not my mahram has entered my room despite not being alone.
There's my Father and Mother. Both Mr. Fikri's parents and.. Mr. Fikri is now looking at me seriously.
"Son. Tonight Mr. Fikri intends to preach you. He said he wanted to get to know you more closely through a serious relationship to the marriage stage." said Mother and smiled at me.
I glanced at Father who now looked happy on his face. Yes I totally understand. Which parents do not like when their daughter is proposed with a handsome man and a half-hearted Mr Fikri?
"Yes to Afrah. Mother's right. Tonight Fikri asked permission from Father and Mother to see your face and appearance before continuing the marriage" said Father who sounded confident in me.
I just nodded even though it felt nervous to be half dead. I channeled this anxiety by hooking my fingers together. I felt my palms sweat cold this time.
"Then please Nak Fikri. You can see the face and look of Afrah. If you feel suitable, you can continue this proposal to the wedding." said Father again.
"Thank you sir."
I heard Mr. Fikri say thank you. But both my eyes are down. The sound of footsteps approaching, now.. Mr. Fikri was already standing in front of me.
"O Allah, all servants leave everything to Allah. If we are a match, then unite us in the bond of marriage." I said in my heart.
I slowly untied the veil I was wearing. Little by little I lowered my veil until I saw my whole face and shape.
I ventured to look at Mr. Fikri. Just 3 seconds counting in my heart after that I sat back timidly. I felt my face heat up and glow red. This was the first time a man who was a nobody to me saw the face behind the veil I was wearing.
I also don't know what Mr. Fikri is thinking right now. Especially her heart that will accept me or
"Pretty."
DEG.
My heart is racing fast. Heart deg-degan. I feel like slumping on the floor while holding onto my chest. I'm sure I didn't hear wrong.
"Thank you." I said slowly.
"Dipi near the chin, there are scars of stitches that shrink. If you can figure out what that wound is?"
"Em Nak Fikri.." Suddenly Dad's voice sounded. "The stitch wound on the cheek near Afrah's chin was a scar. Em forgive us, our daughter used to have an accident and ended up with surgery."
Suddenly my voice sounded. I can only be quiet without saying anything. Mr. Fikri turned his body around and left me. Instantly I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alhamdulillah. Daughter Beautiful father. I will continue this proposal."
"God's Mother is pleased to Fik."
"Alhamdulillah. Yes son. I am grateful, too."
"What about yourself Afrah? You accepted Nak Fikri proposed to you?"
I looked at my father who was smiling at me. Of course I nodded because Mr. Fikri was one of the criteria men I liked.
The sound of happy speech and gratitude was heard from the two parents of Mr. Firki earlier. So do I. Both my eyes are glazed. I don't know what to do but this happiness I feel.
So much gratitude from God that happened to me. Allah is All-Knowing of what I have hoped for. Pairing with a man I've liked since I first met him in the city of Aceh a few months ago.
"God willing, if you allow it. Next month I want to hold a wedding and reception event" Fikri suddenly told Dad.
And it just makes me nervous.
"I'm up to Nak Fikri. Faster is better."
"Yes Sir. I will also try to take care of all my work to the end in order to have time for my honeymoon with my future wife."
I could not hear all their words but shed my tears without anyone noticing but Allah. These tears are tears of happiness.
A path and destiny will begin with me. My paradise will soon be moving in with my future husband. And getting married later is the longest worship that I have to live full of love with him.. Mr. Fikri made me fall in love.
A few minutes later, Mr. Fikri and others came out of the room and closed the door. I breathe a sigh of relief. Without wasting any time I opened my veil and made a prostration of gratitude towards the Qibla.
The tears are back flowing. The love for God made me understand that God had brought Mr. Fikri for me.
Thank you, God. Thank ye. I am grateful that I love Mr. Fikri because of Allah.
